New choppers at Ardmore

First up is the Eurocopter EC135 P2+ ZK-IBT c/n 1114. Registered to Advanced Flight earlier last month, ZK-IBT has been receiving attention at Airbus Helicopters, Ardmore, and was out and about flying 19 December however by the time we caught up with it technicians were at work and a clear photo not possible. This is the 4th use of the registration IBT with with the first three applications adorning the side of AS350 Squirrels.

Secondly we have MBB BK117 B2 ZK-INI c/n 7179. It was registered to Airwork 08 December and is seen here outside the owners Ardmore facility 19 December. Like many of the machines imported by Airwork it is quite possible this will end up being exported. A google search indicates this airframe once flew with Mercy Air http://aviacioncr.net/foto.php?id=77414
